Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta
AUSTRALIAN HISTORICAL ARCHAEOLOGY, 5,1987 The Excavation of Buildings in the Early Township of Parramatta, New South Wales, 1790-1820s EDWARD HIGGINBOTHAM This paper describes the excavation of a convict hut, erected in 1790 in Parramatta, together with an adjoining contemporary out-building or enclosure. It discusses the evidence for repair, and secondary occupation by free persons, one of whom is tentatively identified. The site produced the first recognised examples of locally manufactured earthenware. The historical and archaeological evidence for pottery manufacture in New South Wales between 1790 and 1830 is contained in an appendix. INTRODUCTION Before any archaeological excavation could take place, it was necessary to research the development of the township In September 1788 the wheat crop failed at Sydney Cove from historical documentation, then to establish whether any and also at Norfolk Island, partly because the seed had not items merited further investigation, and finally to ascertain been properly stored during the voyage of the First Fleet. As whether any archaeological remains survived later soon as this was known the Sirius was sent to the Cape of development. Good Hope for both flour and seed grain.' Also in November Preliminary historical research indicated that the area 1788 an agricultural settlement was established at Rose Hill available for archaeological investigation was initially (Parramatta).2 The intention was to clear sufficient land in occupied by a number of huts for convict accommodation, advance of the ship's return, so that the grain could be and subsequently by residential development.8 This paper is immediately sown. The early settlement at Rose Hill was an therefore mainly concerned with the development of convict attempt to save the penal colony from starvation, and and then domestic occupation in Parramatta. -
Supply Corps Senior Leadership
JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2017 Supply Corps Senior Leadership Happy New Year! As we begin 2017, I am optimistic that we will build on the many successes of 2016, and that we are well-positioned as a community to meet the challenges and leverage the opportunities ahead of us. One of the ways in which we are so well-posi- tioned is the strength of our team, and it is my pleasure to introduce our new Command Master Chief, Thaddeus T. Wright, who joined NAVSUP on November 2, 2016. Master A Message from the Chief Wright brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the command and the Chief of Supply Corps enlisted community, as well as a fresh, new perspective to the NAVSUP team. This edition of the Supply Corps Newsletter features articles from the Supply Corps Senior Leadership Symposium held in Leesburg, Virginia, in November 2016. Flag Officers, Senior Executive Service members, Captains, and Captain-selects met to review the current state of our community, explore key initiatives, and prepare for 2017 and beyond. Topics such as our alignment with the Navy’s Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority, how we plan and execute in support of the full range of military operations, the role of mentor- ship in our community, and the increasing scope of our expeditionary support, highlight not only how our supply community is evolving, but also how our mission of providing world class supplies, services, and quality of life support to the warfighter is ever-enduring. Whether you are or may one day be part of our Reserve Component or FTS Supply Corps team, I encourage you to attend the upcoming National RC Supply Corps Sympo- sium in Dallas, Texas, May 20 and 21. -

Introduction
Introduction In his third Boyer Lecture of November 2009, General Peter Cosgrove, the former Chief of the Australian Defence Force, noted several points on the subject of ‘Leading in Australia’, based on his own forty years of military experience. It was ‘a universal truth’, he said, that leaders ‘are accountable’. ‘Leaders who fail to appreciate this fundamental precept of accountability must also fail to muster the profound commitment true leadership demands’. Furthermore, leadership required a keen understanding of the nature of teamwork, and of the fact that ‘teamwork is adversarial’, whether the team be pitted against another, against the environment or against the standards that the team has set itself. The key to successful leadership is ‘to simply and clearly identify the adversary to the team’ and to overcome the team’s or one’s own shortcomings to forge a cohesive unit united against the adversary. Finally, a leader must be an effective communicator. ‘Communication is the conduit of leadership’, and ‘Leadership uncommunicated is leadership unrequited’. ‘Leadership messages must be direct, simple, [and] fundamentally relevant to each member of the team’.1 While Cosgrove was speaking broadly of contemporary leadership in the military, government and business, his general statements were as applicable to the late eighteenth century as they are today. This thesis examines the subject of leadership in the colony of New South Wales (NSW) for the period 1788 to 1794. The two principal leaders for that period were Captain Arthur Phillip R.N. and Major Francis Grose, the commandant of the New South Wales Corps who assumed command of the colony on Phillip’s departure in December 1792. -
Admiral Arthur Phillip.Pdf
Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N. (1738 – 1814) A brief story by Angus Ross for the Bread Street Ward Club, 2019 One of the famous people born in Bread Street was Admiral Arthur Phillip, R.N, the Founder of Australia and first Governor of New South Wales (1788-1792). His is a fascinating story that only recently has become a major subject of research, especially around his naval exploits, but also his impact in the New Forest where he lived mid-career and also around Bath, where he finally settled and died. I have studied records from the time Phillip sailed to Australia, a work published at the end of the 19c and finally from more recent research. Some events are reported differently by different observes or researchers so I have taken the most likely record for this story. Arthur Phillip in later life His Statue in Watling Street, City of London I have tried to balance the amount of detail without ending up with too long a story. It is important to understand the pre-First Fleet Phillip to best understand how he was chosen and was so well qualified and experienced to undertake the journey and to establish the colony. So, from a range of accounts written in various times, this story aims to identify the important elements of Phillip’s development ending in his success in taking out that First Fleet, made up primarily of convicts and marines, to start the first settlement. I have concluded this story with something about the period after he returned from Australia and what recognition of his life and achievements are available to see today. -

USS Stethem to Aid Support in Japanese-Led F-35A Search and Recovery Operations
Another example of a mission ready ship because of a U.S. Navy Port Engineer USS Stethem to Aid Support in Japanese-led F-35A Search and Recovery Operations Story Number: NNS190425-10Release Date: 4/25/2019 11:25:00 AM From U.S. 7th Fleet Public Affairs OKINAWA, Japan (NNS) -- A U.S. Navy salvage team embarked a contracted vessel and departed Okinawa, April 24, to assist Japanese-led search and recovery operations for a downed Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) F-35A. DSCV Van Gogh is a multipurpose diving support and construction vessel equipped with U.S. Navy remotely operated vehicles and a U.S. Navy towed-pinger locator (TPL-25) system. The F-35A aircraft went missing approximately 85 miles east of Misawa Air Base on April 9th. From April 9-17, U.S. Navy guided-missile destroyer, USS Stethem (DDG 63) and P-8A Poseidon aircraft joined JASDF forces, searching an area spanning approximately 5,000 square nautical miles. The seamless cooperation between the U.S. military and the JASDF during this operation is yet another reflection of a strong alliance, forged over decades of mutual support and friendship. U.S. 7th Fleet provides security alongside allies and partners throughout a free and open Indo-Pacific. As the U.S. Navy's largest forward-deployed fleet, 7th Fleet operates roughly 50-70 ships and submarines, and 140 aircraft with approximately 20,000 Sailors. Webmaster’s Note: USS Stethem (DDG-63) is an Arleigh Burke- class destroyer in the United States Navy. The ship was built in Pascagoula, Mississippi, starting on 11 May 1993.
